Helen Merrill - Antonio`s Song

"Antonio`s Song"
written by Michael Franks
cover by Helen Merrill

Antonio lives life's frevo
Antonio prays for truth
Antonio says our friendship
Is a hundred-proof

The vulture that circles Rio
Hangs in this New York sky
The blankets they give the Indians
Only make them die

Sing a song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like light into a rainbow

We know the dance
We still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like lights into a rainbow

Antonio loves the desert
Antonio prays for rain
Antonio knows that pleasure
Is the child of pain

And lost in New York confusion
When most of my hope was gone
Antonio's samba led me
To the Amazon

Sing a song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like lights into a rainbow

We know the dance
We still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like lights into a rainbow

Rainbow...

(Instrumental)

Sing a song
Forgotten for so long
And let the music flow
Like light into a rainbow

We know the dance, we have
We still have the chance
To break these chains and flow
Like lights into a rainbow

Always... ~ jc
